Introduction to Psalms
WE have now before us one of the choicest parts of the Old
Testament, wherein there is so much of Christ and his gospel, as
well as of God and his law, that it has been called the summary of
both Testaments. The history of Israel; which we were long upon,
instructed us in the knowledge of God. The book of Job gave us
profitable disputations, concerning God and his providence. But
this book brings us into the sanctuary, draws us off from converse
with men, with the philosophers or disputers of this world, and
directs us into communion with God. It is called, the Psalms, in
Hebrew Tehillim, which properly signifies Psalms of praise,
because many of them are such; but Psalms is a more general
word, meaning all poetical compositions, fitted to be sung. St.
Peter styles it, The book of Psalms. It is a collection of Psalms, of
all the Psalms that were divinely inspired, composed at several
times, on several occasions, and here put together, without any
dependence on each other. Thus they were preserved from being
scattered and lost, and kept in readiness for the service of the
church. One of these is expressly said to be the prayer of Moses.
That some of them were penned by Asaph, is intimated, 2 Chron.
xxix, 30, where they are said to praise the Lord, in the words of
David and Asaph, who is there called a seer or prophet. And some
of the Psalms seem to have been penned long after, at the time of
the captivity in Babylon. But the far greater part were wrote by
David, who was raised up for establishing the ordinance of
singing Psalms in the church of God, as Moses and Aaron were
for settling the ordinance of sacrifice. Theirs indeed is superseded,
but this will remain, 'till it be swallowed up in the songs of
eternity. There is little in the book of Psalms of the ceremonial
law. But the moral law is all along magnified, and made
honourable. And Christ the foundation, corner and top-stone of all
religion, is here clearly spoken of; both his sufferings, with the
glory that should follow, and the, kingdom he would set up in the
world.
